Abstract

In one embodiment, a method includes displaying, for one or more displays of a virtual VR device, a first output image comprising a passthrough view of a real-world environment. The method includes identifying, using one or more images captured by one or more cameras of the VR display device, a real-world object in the real-world environment. The method includes receiving a user input indicating a first dimension corresponding to the real-world object. The method includes automatically determining, based on the first dimension, a second and third dimension corresponding to the real-world object. The method includes rendering, for the one or more displays of the VR display device, a second output image of a VR environment. The VR environment includes a MR object that corresponds to the real-world object. The MR object is defined by the determined first, second, and third dimensions.
